Milwaukee Brewers: Why Miller Park should keep its name

This is the second part of an examination of the pros and cons of the new sponsorship deal.

American Family Insurance has paid for the naming rights to Miller Park, but nobody will tell how much they actually paid, and they don’t even have a name picked out yet.

At time of writing, more than 51,500 people have signed a petition in an effort to preserve the stadium’s current name. Miller Park’s official capacity is 41,900 and its record attendance is 46,218. If you took the petition’s signatories and put them into one city, it would be the 12th largest in Wisconsin, just ahead of La Crosse.
